Chipper Jones tweeted "Y'all remember that line drive from Bj Upton I took off the ankle this year? Be glad I left the bandage on!!! Yuck!"
No, don't actually recall that play at all.

How is the former MVP spending his first days of retirement? By watching 'JFK' and live-tweeting what he thinks really happened in Dallas on that infamous day.

In the city of Atlanta, Chipper Jones doesn't have to do very much to impress anymore. He played his entire career in Atlanta, set records, won titles, and is one of the biggest fan-favorites in Braves' lore.
Jones retired this season, surely on his way to the Hall of Fame in five years, in part because his body couldn't take the wear and tear...

Earlier in May of this year Braves third baseman took a groundball from B.J. Upton off of the leg and was diagnosed with a “left leg contusion.” We can only assume that retirement is a little boring for Chipper so today he decided to Tweet out a picture of the “contusion,” and it is horrible.

If you look up “true professional” in your proverbial dictionary, you just might find a picture of the recently-retired, former Atlanta Braves third baseman Larry “Chipper” Jones. Chipper was as consistent as they come from both sides of the plate. In fact, he hit .303 from the left side and .304 from the right. The no-doubt first ballot Hall of Famer finished with...

Back in May, Chipper Jones spent a short time on the disabled list after he took a B.J. Upton one-hopper directly to the lower leg. The injury was described as a “left leg contusion,” which is a fancy phrase for a bruise. If you criticized Chipper at the time for missing games because of a bruise, you take it back. You take it back right now.

Chipper Jones took a trip to the disabled list in May after taking a line drive to the ankle. I’m pretty sure skin isn’t supposed to ever be that shade of purple, but hey, what do I know?

Nastylicious. We’ve seen our fair share of gnarly bruises around here (see Lepisto, Sami and Crain, Jesse), so when Braves 3rd baseman Chipper Jones recently tweeted out this photo of his horrifically bruised left ankle—the end result of a BJ Upton line drive off the leg early in the 2012 season—it really shouldn’t have made anyone squeamish in the least, seeing that we...

It’s no secret that the 2012 off-season doesn’t have the best free agent class. Being topped off by Zack Greinke and Josh Hamilton is great, but it declines under them. After last year’s class, this year’s list of available players seems terrible. One free agent that will not be re-signing with his last club is Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael...

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a two-year deal with backup catcher Gerald Laird.
The 33-year-old Laird has appeared in the last two World Series. He played for the Detroit Tigers this past season, hitting .282 with two homers and 11 RBIs, and the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011.
The Braves targeted Laird after David Ross, who backed up Brian McCann the past four seasons, signed...

Craig Kimbrel had an amazing, record-breaking season, so its just wrong hes not among the three finalists for the NL Cy Young that will be awarded today.
It will go to either Los Angeles Clayton Kershaw, Washingtons Gio Gonzalez or New Yorks R.A. Dickey, but Kimbrel deserved to be among the finalists, if not the winner.
I know, relievers never receive much consideration for baseballs...

If your team is in the free agent market, there are a few things you root for. One would be this slugging god of a player who can hit the ball over the deepest fences. A Fielder-type of guy. Another on the wish list is a stud pitcher like Greinke or even Sanchez. And perhaps you would want a stud closer such as Soriano. For most fans, signing a player like Michael Bourn would not...

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to terms with free agent catcher Gerald Laird. Laird, 33, seems a good fit for the Braves, a team in need of a starting catcher for about a month before All-Star Brian McCann returns from shoulder surgery. The veteran catcher just finished up a year with the American League Champion Detroit Tigers and despite the fact that his name conjures images...

At one point the Atlanta Braves had hopes of signing both Torii Hunter and B.J. Upton. With Hunter signing a two year deal with the Detroit Tigers, the Braves are turning their sights solely to Upton.
The Braves have two spots to fill in the outfield thanks to Michael Bourn becoming a free agency and the move of Martin Prado to third base.
Upton hit .246/.298/.454 last season. He...

According to a Major League source close to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, the Atlanta Braves are looking to add an outfielder bat and are interested in veteran outfielder Cody Ross.
With Martin Prado probably moving to third base to fill Chipper Jones' spot, the 31-year old Ross could become their everyday left fielder. In 528 plate appearances for the Red Sox in 2012, Ross hit...
